Oracle ILOM 3.0 Firmware Version Numbering Scheme


Oracle ILOM 3.0 uses a firmware version numbering scheme that helps you to identify the firmware version you are running on your server or CMM. This numbering scheme includes a five-field string, for example, a.b.c.d.e, where:

a - Represents the major version of Oracle ILOM. b - Represents a minor version of Oracle ILOM. c - Represents the update version of Oracle ILOM. d - Represents a micro version of Oracle ILOM. Micro versions are managed per platform or group of platforms. See your platform Product Notes for details. e - Represents a nano version of Oracle ILOM. Nano versions are incremental iterations of a micro version.

For example, Oracle ILOM 3.1.2.1.a would designate:


Oracle ILOM 3 as the major version Oracle ILOM 3.1 as a minor version Oracle ILOM 3.1.2 as the second update version Oracle ILOM 3.1.2.1 as a micro version Oracle ILOM 3.1.2.1.a as a nano version of 3.1.2.1

Tip To identify the Oracle ILOM firmware version installed on your Sun server or
CMM, click System Information --> Versions in the web interface, or type version in the command-line interface.

Firmware Updates Using Oracle ILOM


To ensure that your system has the latest features and product enhancements installed, you should update the Oracle ILOM firmware on your system with the latest Oracle ILOM firmware release that is available. The firmware for the following types of devices can be updated using Oracle ILOM:

Blade or rackmount servers (x86 and SPARC) that contain a service processor (SP) Blade chassis network expansion modules (NEM) that include a service processor Blade chassis monitoring module (CMM)

Note In a Sun Blade Modular System chassis running Oracle ILOM 3.0, the CMM
can act as the primary point for managing firmware updates for chassis components. When updating to a later firmware release, the Preserve Configuration option (when enabled) saves your existing Oracle ILOM configuration and restores the configuration after the update process is complete.

Note The term configuration here refers to the settings configured in Oracle ILOM
by a user. These settings can include user management settings, SP network settings, serial port settings, alert management configurations, remote management configurations, and so on. If you are updating to a prior firmware release and Oracle ILOM detects a preserved configuration for that release, the Preserve Configuration option (when enabled) reverts to the configuration for the prior release after the update process completes. Generally, you should not update the firmware on your system to a prior release. However, if you determine that you need to run an earlier version of the firmware on your system, you can update the firmware to any prior firmware release that is available for download. Prior to updating the Oracle ILOM firmware, you should identify the Oracle ILOM firmware version that is running on the server SP, NEM SP, or CMM. For information about the firmware version numbering scheme used for Oracle ILOM 3.0, see Oracle ILOM 3.0 Firmware Version Numbering Scheme on page xi. If you determine you are running Oracle ILOM 3.0 firmware on your server SP, NEM SP, or CMM, refer to any of the following Oracle ILOM 3.0 guides for instructions for updating the Oracle ILOM firmware.

Service Processor (SP) Reset


On occasion, the SP for a server, NEM, or CMM will need to be reset for you to complete an upgrade, or to clear an error state. The reset operation is similar to resetting a PC where all active processes are terminated and the system reboots. If you need to reset your Oracle ILOM service processor (SP), you can do so without affecting the host OS. However, resetting an SP disconnects your current Oracle ILOM session and renders the SP unmanageable during reset.

Maintenance Operations Overview

Back Up, Restore, and Reset Oracle ILOM Configurations


Oracle ILOMs configuration management tasks enable you to:

Back up the Oracle ILOM configuration to a XML file on a remote system. Use the backup file to restore Oracle ILOM to the backed-up configuration. Use the backup file to install the backed-up configuration on other Oracle ILOM SPs. Reset the Oracle ILOM configuration to the default settings.

You can use the Backup and Restore and Reset to Defaults features together in the following ways:

Save the Oracle ILOM configuration to a backup XML file, reset the Oracle ILOM configuration to the default settings, and use the command-line interface (CLI) or web interface to create a new Oracle ILOM configuration. The privileges assigned to the user account that is used to execute the Backup operation determine how much of the configuration is included in the backup XML file. The Admin (a), User Management (u), Console (c), Reset and Host Control (r), and Read Only (o) roles have full privileges and create the most complete configuration backup file.

Note For security reasons, if the user account used to execute the Restore operation has fewer privileges than the account used to create the backup file, some of the configurations might not be restored. For each configuration property that is not restored due to lack of privileges, a log entry is created.

Use the CLI or web interface to create a new Oracle ILOM configuration, save the Oracle ILOM configuration to a backup XML file, edit the XML file to remove settings that are unique to a particular system, and perform restore operations to load the backup file to other systems. Reset the Oracle ILOM configuration to the default settings and restore it using a known good Oracle ILOM configuration backup file.

Given the above capabilities, the following use cases describe how you might typically use these features:

You changed your Oracle ILOM configuration but it no longer works and you want to recover Oracle ILOM by restoring it to a known good configuration. To do this, first reset the Oracle ILOM configuration to the default settings and then perform a Restore operation using the known good configuration.

Oracle ILOM 3.0 Maintenance and Diagnostics Guide May 2011

You want to use the Backup and Restore feature to replicate an Oracle ILOM configuration onto other systems. To do this, create a standard Oracle ILOM configuration, back up the configuration, edit the backed up XML file to remove settings that are unique to a particular system (for example, the IP address), then perform Restore operations to replicate the configuration onto the other systems. You created a minimum Oracle ILOM configuration but to make it complete you need to configure a number of users (Oracle ILOM supports a maximum of 10 active user sessions per service processor). If you have backed up a configuration previously that has the same users, you can edit the XML file so that it only includes the user information and then simply perform a Restore operation to overlay the minimum configuration with the configuration that has the user accounts. Reuse of large network configurations such as Active Directory is another use case for this approach.

You can use either the web interface or the CLI to perform configuration management tasks in Oracle ILOM. For more information about these tasks, see:

Back Up the Oracle ILOM Configuration (CLI)


Before You Begin

Log in to the Oracle ILOM CLI as a user assigned the Admin, User Management, Console, Reset and Host Control, and Read Only (a,u,c,r,o) roles. These roles are required for you to perform a complete backup of the Oracle ILOM SP configuration. If you use a user account that does not have the roles listed here, the configuration backup file that is created might not include all of the Oracle ILOM SP configuration data.

1. Log in to the Oracle ILOM CLI SP or CMM. 2. Change to the /SP/config directory. Type: -> cd /SP/config 3. If you want sensitive data, such as user passwords, SSH keys, certificates, and so forth, to be backed up, you must provide a passphrase. Type: -> set passphrase=passphrase 4. To initiate the Backup operation, type the following command from within the /SP/config directory: -> set dump_uri= transfer_method://username:password@ipaddress_or_hostname/directorypath/filename Where:

transfer_method can be tftp, ftp, sftp, scp, http, or https. username is the name of the user account on the remote system. (username is required for scp, sftp, and ftp. username is not used for tftp, and it is optional for http and https.) password is the password for the user account on the remote system. (password is required for scp, sftp, and ftp. password is not used for tftp, and it is optional for http and https.) ipaddress_or_hostname is the IP address or the host name of the remote system. directorypath is the storage location on the remote system. filename is the name assigned to the configuration backup file.

For example: -> set dump_uri= scp://adminuser:userpswd@1.2.3.4/Backup/Lab9/SP123.config The Backup operation executes, and you will be prompted when the operation is complete. A Backup operation typically takes two to three minutes to complete.

Optionally Edit the Backup XML File


Before You Begin

You can restore an Oracle ILOM configuration backup to another system to duplicate configurations. Before you use an XML backup file on another system, you should edit the file to remove any information that is unique to a particular system, for example, the IP address.

24

Oracle ILOM 3.0 Maintenance and Diagnostics Guide May 2011

The following is an example of a backed-up XML file. The content of the file is abbreviated for this procedure.
<SP_config version="3.0"> <entry> <property>/SP/check_physical_presence</property> <value>false</value> </entry> <entry> <property>/SP/hostname</property> <value>labysystem12</value> </entry> <entry> <property>/SP/system_identifier</property> <value>SUN BLADE X8400 SERVER MODULE, ILOM v3.0.0.0, r32722</value> </entry> . . . <entry> <property>/SP/clock/datetime</property> <value>Mon May 12 15:31:09 2010</value> </entry> . . . <entry> <property>/SP/config/passphrase</property> <value encrypted="true">89541176be7c</value> </entry> . . . <entry> <property>/SP/network/pendingipaddress</property> <value>1.2.3.4</value> </entry> . . .

Backing Up, Restoring, or Resetting Oracle ILOM Configurations

25

<entry> <property>/SP/network/commitpending</property> <value>true</value> </entry> . . . <entry> <property>/SP/services/snmp/sets</property> <value>enabled</value> </entry> . . . <entry> <property>/SP/users/john/role</property> <value>aucro</value> </entry> <entry> <property>/SP/users/john/password</property> <value encrypted="true">c21f5a3df51db69fdf</value> </entry> </SP_config>

1. Consider the following in the example XML file:

The configuration settings, with exception of the password and the passphrase, are in clear text (unencrypted). The check_physical_presence property, which is the first configuration entry in the file, is set to false. The default setting is true so this setting represents a change to the default Oracle ILOM configuration. The configuration settings for pendingipaddress and commitpending are examples of settings that should be deleted before you use the backup XML file for a Restore operation because these settings are unique to each server. The user account john is configured with the a, u, c, r, o roles. The default Oracle ILOM configuration does not have any configured user accounts so this account represents a change to the default Oracle ILOM configuration. The SNMP sets property is set to enabled. The default setting is disabled.

2. To modify the configuration settings that are in clear text, change the values or add new configuration settings. For example:

26

Oracle ILOM 3.0 Maintenance and Diagnostics Guide May 2011

To change the roles assigned to the user john, change the text as follows:

<entry> <property>/SP/users/john/role</property> <value>auo</value> </entry>

To add a new user account and assign that account the a, u, c, r, o roles, add the following text directly below the entry for user john:

<entry> <property>/SP/users/bill/role</property> <value>aucro</value> </entry>

To change a password, delete the encrypted=true setting and the encrypted password string and type in the new password. For example, to change the password for the user john, modify the XML as follows: Change:

<entry> <property>/SP/users/john/password</property> <value encrypted="true">c21f5a3df51db69fdf</value> </entry>

To:
<entry> <property>/SP/users/john/password</property> <value>newpassword</value> </entry>

3. After you have made the changes to the backup XML file, save the file so that you can use it for a Restore operation on the same system or a different system.

Server SP Diagnostic Tools


All diagnostics have the same goals: stimulate some component or components, observe the behavior of the components under test, and determine whether the behavior is expected. If the behavior is not expected, diagnostic tools can help to identify the likely cause of the error and send a clear message or notification to the user. Diagnostic configuration options in Oracle ILOM are accessible from the Remote Control --> Diagnostics tab in the Oracle ILOM web interface or by using the CLI. Refer to the following sections and your platform Oracle ILOM supplement guide or platform administration guide for information about all supported diagnostics.

PC-Check (x86 Systems) on page 36 Generate NMI (x86 Systems) on page 37 SPARC System Diagnostic Configuration Settings on page 38

PC-Check (x86 Systems)


Pc-Check is a DOS-based utility that is integrated into your system service processor (SP) firmware. This utility can be accessed from Oracle ILOM, or the utility can be accessed and executed from your server Tools and Drivers DVD. Pc-Check tests all motherboard components (CPU, memory, and I/O), ports, and slots. When enabled, this utility runs at host power-on. The Pc-Check utility is disabled by default in Oracle ILOM. Pc-Check has four operating modes that you can run either through the Oracle ILOM web interface or through the Oracle ILOM CLI. These modes are as follows:

Enabled If you want to run Pc-Check diagnostic tests upon start-up of the host, select this mode. It is recommended that you run this mode prior to a mission-critical application to ensure the quality of the system. This mode runs a predefined test suite without user intervention and, upon completion, will continue to boot the next device based on the BIOS Boot Priority List. Use this mode as a quick test for first-time field installation. These basic diagnostic tests typically take five minutes to complete. Extended If you want to run extended Pc-Check diagnostic tests upon start-up of the host, select this mode. You should run this mode for first-time installation of the system. This mode runs a comprehensive test suite to ensure that the system was transported without physical damage. This mode should also be run any time you physically change the system configuration to ensure that newly added

36

Oracle ILOM 3.0 Maintenance and Diagnostics Guide May 2011

components are installed correctly prior to running production operating systems and applications. These extended diagnostic tests typically take 20 to 40 minutes to complete.

Manual If you want to run select Pc-Check diagnostic tests upon start-up of the host, select this mode. You can use this mode to select individual tests from the Pc-Check menus, or to select predefined test suites available through the Immediate Burn-in test menu. Disabled If you do not want to run Pc-Check diagnostic tests upon start-up of the host, select this mode. This is the default mode when your system arrives. You should set up Pc-Check to Disabled mode when you have concluded running the diagnostic tests.

For more information about specific test suites and in-depth instructions for running the Pc-Check diagnostics utility, refer to the Oracle x86 Servers Diagnostics Guide.

Collect SP Data to Diagnose System Problems


The Oracle ILOM Service Snapshot utility enables you to produce a snapshot of the server processor at any instant in time. You can run the utility from the Oracle ILOM CLI or the web interface.

Caution The purpose of the Oracle ILOM Service Snapshot utility is to collect data
for use by Oracle Services personnel to diagnose system problems. Customers should not run this utility unless requested to do so by Oracle Services personnel. The Oracle ILOM Service Snapshot utility gathers SP state data. The utility collects log files, runs various commands and collects their output, and sends the data collection as a downloaded file to a user-defined location. As of Oracle ILOM 3.0.3, a FRUID data set option is available from the Snapshot utility. Specifically, this option enables Services personnel to analyze data in a binary format about field-replaceable hardware installed on a server. This FRUID option is not for customer use, unless an authorized Services representative instructs a customer to use the option.

Fault Management Using the Restricted Shell


The Oracle ILOM Fault Management shell can be used by administrators and Oracle Services personnel to view and modify system fault management configuration parameters maintained by Oracle ILOM. Oracle ILOM receives information relating to problems detected by the system software, diagnoses those problems, and initiates proactive self-healing activities such as disabling faulty components. Most of these fault management activities are automated. If additional intervention is required by an administrator or Oracle Services personnel, Oracle ILOM produces a message indicating what's required. During a manual diagnostic process, utilities provided in the Fault Management shell can be used to gather more information or perform additional tasks. The Fault Management shell is a captive shell. It must be run as a separate shell from the Oracle ILOM CLI. Only Fault management commands are allowed in this shell.

Note Other platform specific fault management commands might be available for use, to determine if other platform fault management commands exist for your server, refer to the ILOM supplement, administration guide, or service manual for the server.

Term Description

Fault FMRI FRU Proactive Self-Healing

A detected error condition in the hardware or software. A fault can be logged to the ILOM system event log. Fault Management Resource Identifier. This could be either the FRU name or UUID. Field replaceable unit (such as a drive, memory DIMM, or printed circuit board). Proactive Self-Healing is an architecture and methodology for automatically diagnosing, reporting, and handling software and hardware fault conditions. This reduces the time required to debug a hardware or software problem and provides the administrator or Oracle support with detailed data about each fault. The architecture consists of an event management protocol, the fault manager, and the fault-handling software. Used to uniquely identify a problem across any set of systems.

Subcommand

Description

faulty [-afrs] [-u uuid]

Display status information for resources that Oracle ILOM has detected as faulty. The following arguments are supported: -a Display all faults. (Default.) -f Display faulty FRUs (Field Replaceable Units). -r Display faulty FRUs and their fault management state (states are described below). -s Display one line fault summary for each fault event. -u uuid Only display faults for a given uuid. Oracle ILOM associates the following management states with every resource for which telemetry information has been received: ok The resource is present and in use and has no known problems detected by Oracle ILOM. unknown The resource is not present or not usable but has no known problems. This might indicate the resource has been disabled or deconfigured by an administrator. Consult the appropriate management tools for more information. faulted The resource is present but is not usable because one or more problems have been diagnosed by Oracle ILOM. The resource has been disabled to prevent further damage to the system. degraded The resource is present and usable, but one or more problems have been diagnosed in the resource by Oracle ILOM. If all affected resources are in the same state, this is reflected in the message at the end of the list. Otherwise the state is given after each affected resource.

62

Oracle ILOM 3.0 Maintenance and Diagnostics Guide May 2011

Subcommand

Description

repaired fru | uuid

Notify Oracle ILOM that a repair procedure has been carried out on the specified fru or uuid. The fmadm repaired subcommand should be used only at the direction of a documented Oracle repair procedure. Administrators might need to apply additional commands to re-enable a previously faulted resource. An equivalent to this command is fmadm repair fru. Notify Oracle ILOM that the specified fru or uuid resource has been replaced. This command should be used in those cases where Oracle ILOM is unable to automatically detect the replacement. The fmadm replaced subcommand should be used only at the direction of a documented Oracle repair procedure. Administrators might need to apply additional commands to re-enable a previously faulted resource. The rotate subcommand causes the specified log file (the error log or fault log file) to be rotated. Up to ten files are maintained in the rotation with the most recent version ending with a .0. Example: fmadm rotate /SP/logs/event/errlog

fmdump Fault Management Log Viewer


The fmdump utility can be used to display the contents of any of the log files associated with Oracle ILOM. Oracle ILOM receives telemetry information relating to problems detected by the system software, diagnoses these problems, and initiates proactive self-healing activities such as disabling faulty components. Oracle ILOM maintains two sets of log files for use by administrators and service personnel:
error log fault log A log which records error telemetry; the symptoms of problems detected by the system. A log which records fault diagnosis information; the problems possibly related to the symptoms.

By default, fmdump displays the contents of the fault log, which records the result of each diagnosis made by the fault manager or one of its component modules. Here is an example of a default fmdump display:
faultmgmtsp> fmdump TIMESTAMP UUID MSGID 2010-02-25/06:05:38 6d76a0f4-b5f5-623c-af8b-9d7b53812ea1 SPX86-8001-TS

Each problem recorded in the fault log is identified by:


The time of its diagnosis. A Universal Unique Identifier (UUID) that can be used to uniquely identify a particular problem across any set of systems. A message identifier that can be used to access a corresponding knowledge article located on Oracle's support web site.

If a problem requires action by a human administrator or service technician or affects system behavior, ILOM also issues a human-readable message to its Event Log. This message provides a summary of the problem and a reference to the knowledge article on the Oracle web site.

Oracle Services-Designated Diagnosic Tools

65

You can use the -v and -V options to expand the display from a single-line summary to increased levels of detail for each event recorded in the log. The -u option can be used to filter the output by selecting only those events that match the specified uuid.

Syntax
fmdump [options [argument]]

Options
The following options are supported:
Option Description

-e

Display events from the fault management error log instead of the fault log. This option is shorthand for specifying the pathname of the error log file. The error log file contains Private telemetry information used by Oracle's automated diagnosis software. This information is recorded to facilitate post-mortem analysis of problems and event replay, and should not be parsed or relied upon for the development of scripts and other tools. Select fault diagnosis events that exactly match the specified argument (uuid). Each diagnosis is associated with a Universal Unique Identifier (UUID) for identification purposes. The -u option can be combined with other options such as -v to show all of the details associated with a particular diagnosis. If the -e option and -u option are both present, the error events that are cross-referenced by the specified diagnosis are displayed. Display verbose event detail. The event display is enlarged to show additional common members of the selected events. Display very verbose event detail. The event display is enlarged to show every member of the name-value pair list associated with each event. In addition, for fault logs, the event display includes a list of crossreferences to the corresponding errors that were associated with the diagnosis.

fmstat Statistical Module Report Generator


The fmstat utility can be used by administrators and service personnel to report statistics associated with the Oracle ILOM Fault Manager and its associated set of modules. The Fault Manager runs in the background on each Oracle ILOM system. It receives telemetry information relating to problems detected by the system software, diagnoses these problems, and initiates proactive self-healing activities such as disabling faulty components. You can use fmstat to view statistics for diagnosis engines that are currently participating in fault management.

Oracle Services-Designated Diagnosic Tools

67

The fmstat utility reports the following statistics for each of the diagnosis engines:
engine The name of the diagnosis engine. The engines execute rules for the fault diagnosis daemon based on ereport input. Oracle ILOM Fault Management engines include: repair - Rule that indicates a fault should be considered repaired if a specified ereport is logged. For example, the fault fault.chassis.power.inadequate@/sys would be considered repaired if ereport.chassis.boot.power-off-requested@/sys was logged. hysteresis - Rule to diagnose a fault if ereport A (initiation) is logged and ereport B (cancelation) is not logged within some specified time afterwards. For example, ereport A is "ereport.fan.speed-low-asserted" and ereport B is "ereport.fan.speed-low-deasserted". The time limit between the initiation/cancelation can be no greater than 10 seconds. SERD - Soft Error Rate Discrimination (SERD) is used in tracking multiple occurences of an ereport. If more than N ereports show up within time period T, the fault is diagnosed. For example, if too many correctable memory error ereports are logged within a specific time frame, a DIMM fault will be diagnosed. simple - Rule to allow one ereport to result in the diagnosis of multiple faults. For example, an ereport for an uncorrectable memory error can be diatnosed to the faults for two DIMMs in a DIMM pair. The status of the engine, either uninit, empty, enqueued, busy, or exiting. The number of events received by the engine as relevant to a diagnosis. The number of events sent by the engine. The number of errors detected by the engine.
